  Hello Practical Research 1 Babies! For today, we are going to learn another competency. We are now in the inferring and explaining patterns and themes part of our whole semester journey. I'm proud that we are able to make it still despite the pandemic. So here are our objectives for the day: - Differentiate  content analysis and thematic analysis. Identifying meaning Patterns and Themes     The identification of the recurring themes and patterns in our data is the core of analyzing data. The are two primary ways of doing the analysis, namely, 1. Content Analysis 2.

    Hello Practical Research 1 Babies! Today, we are going to learn all about research designs. The choosing of the right Research design is essential in conducting research as it serves as a guide in what actions to make along the way. Our Objectives for the day are the following: -Describe qualitative research designs -Identify the correct research design based from the titles given Qualitative Research Designs     To conduct a qualitative research, one must choose the appropriate design. Experts have identied and recommended the following research designs: Case Studies, Grounded Theory, Ethnography, Content Analysis, and Phenomenological Studies. 1. Case Study          The case study centers on the examination of a person, program, or event in defined time frame.

So, he needs to develop a sample, or group of subjects. This is done through a pro...
